This detailed walking tour takes viewers through Nakameguro (中目黒), one of Tokyo’s most popular neighborhoods for both locals and tourists. The walk begins at Meguro Ginza Shopping Street (目黒銀座商店街), a vibrant shopping arcade filled with local stores, eateries, and unique boutiques. The video offers a first-person perspective as you pass under the Underpass No.100 (高架下100番), an interesting spot known for its atmospheric under-rail shops and urban scenery.
As the walk continues, viewers are treated to scenes of trains passing overhead and the unique architecture developed under the elevated train tracks. The tour follows the scenic Meguro River (目黒川), which is especially famous for cherry blossoms in spring but is a peaceful and pleasant walking destination year-round. The riverside segments highlight both wildlife, with birds such as pigeons visiting the area, and the tranquil nature bordering the urban landscape.
Further along, the video shows the Meguro City Office (目黒区役所), an essential local government site, as well as major thoroughfares like Yamate Street (山手通り). The tour also takes you down side streets and relaxing paths just off the main shopping areas, providing a balanced look at both Nakameguro’s lively and quiet corners. Nakameguro’s blend of old and new Tokyo, its riverside scenery, and local charm make it a highly recommended area for visitors seeking a walkable and culturally rich neighborhood experience in Tokyo.
Nakameguro is easily accessible from central Tokyo via the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line or the Tokyu Toyoko Line. Around Meguro Ginza and along the Meguro River, you’ll find a wide array of cafes, trendy shops, and spots popular among young Tokyoites. Whether you’re interested in city life, riverside tranquility, or local dining, Nakameguro delivers a quintessential Tokyo experience.
